A short while back I informed the members here of a insane Wallet Seconds Sale at Tanner Goods in Portland Oregon. I know a couple of members made purchases and I would be most curious to see what you guys got, considering it was a blind style purchase. I figured since each wallet cost me $18 I could throw caution to the wind and see how lucky I was...apparently I was very lucky. @FilsonDude & @Fueco what did you guys get?

Small Wallet Number 1:
Out of the 3 Small wallet choices the one that I wanted the most is called The Legacy Cardholder (think Filson Snap Wallet). The color I wanted (out of 4) was Natural; just like my Utility Bifold & 1.50” Belt.

Looks like I got exactly what I wanted, here it is sitting next to my year old Tanner Goods Natural Bifold. Retailing for $80 made from Meridian English Bridle Leather. Featuring a rough out interior and brass snaps and rivets

“Patina Potential”:

The back features two riveted dollar bill clasps; check out those rich leather tones.

My theory on why this is a second: the monogram on the back appears to be upside down. Accidents happen and I am very fortunate because of it.

2. The 2nd wallet I was hoping for I didn’t get, and allow me to say, I have never been happier. The one I got instead turned out to be better for what I was tasking it for. The color of the leather was also something I found deep appreciation for, as I get to see how it patina’s, considering I was thinking about picking up a more formal 1.25” belt for dress khakis.

The Minimal Card Wallet In Cognac Meridian English Bridle Leather with a smooth underside for easy access. Retails for $40.

What I like best about this, is the top access to the bill slot and the two card slots. It’s a true front pocket wallet, as the contents will stay exactly in place no matter what, even loose change. Featured below is about 9 bills and 4 cards, but this thing can definitely swallow much more. I however don’t need it to, as the Legacy Cardholder can fill that job effortlessly.

I can’t really tell why this is a factory second as it’s absolutely flawless. Maybe there is supposed to be a roughed out underside. That’s what i call a perfect mistake. Here’s a shot of the upside down monogram on the Legay:

Well with my experience with Porsche while working for Ferrari, I’d say the #70218 would be a perfect fit, but boardeline too big . You’ll have to punch in that build number to get my attempt at car humor

Right on!! World Rally Blue and of course manual (no other option exists).

No offense man, but posting once on this forum trying to sell something is ok, but imo 3-4 times is probably too much. This is a forum for discussion about the products and not for selling. There is a specific buy sell trade page on styleforum that is meant for this. Please feel free to continue trying to sell your very nice briefcase there. I wish you very good luck.

I feel like I'm sitting in that very same classroom right now. Where is everyone?

Some eBay listings for your entertainment:

1. Filson STB #244. Leather looks to be from the Talon Era. You simply don't see too many of these pop up on the Bay. Who was it that has one of these on here that bought it under the guise of a MTB?

2. This is what a true First Edition looks like. Filson #258 YKK (Build Date 0602) in Otter Green with the famous sueded underside from the Talon Era. Lock and Key is included as well as a Eddie Bauer luggage tag, from a time that I can only imagine when these two brands shared much in common.

Agreed it's been slow. I think two things are happening:
1. Covid has kept us all home and we're not using our Filson travel bags, like we used to. I happened upon a stack of my bags in the corner of my closet yesterday and felt a feeling of dread wash over me. We, as humans, are meant to travel, see the world, and visit with friends, family and clients. When we do that, we share some of those pics on this forum.
2. As the weather has started to warm up, it has eliminated some of the value of Filson clothes, jackets and pants. Again, limiting the number of opportunities to show off our Filson gear.

I just bought a field bag that I've carried ONE TIME in 3 weeks due to this mess. It's sitting right next to me - mocking me.

Yes. I just received a tan #246 with 1003 build date and YKK zippers in very good shape (albeit missing the strap) right before a couple of trips got cancelled or postponed, along with twin large Pullmans, one olive and one tan, the latter close to NOS. They are sitting in my office at work, almost mocking me. Oh well.

Yes to slow due to covid. And yes, sort of to changing weather.
I did find myself outside at the weekend in spring sunshine and realized I was in head to knee Filson! Trying out the new dry shelter cloth shorts that had got for the Africa trip. Then Alaskan guide shirt ( which I just seem to live in the last few months) and ultralight vest. Wool watch cap. Probably to everyone’s relief there is no photo.

@OtterMeanGreen : if you are stuck at home and want Subaru content check out Mighty Car Mods on you tube. Look for the build series on Supergramps. Great fun and impressive build skills.
